Текст песни The Road Down (The Killigans) с переводом

Ninety miles an hour, down this interstate

Driving on my last twenty dollars of gas

Got everything I own inside this Chevrolet

Going nowhere and that needle’s dropping fast

That woman broke my heart in St. Louis

Shot ‘em both and drove into the west after the sun

I’m chasing down my soul on my way to hell

Engine’s burning oil and I’ve got nowhere to run

As the daylight turns to dusk and that road keeps going further

Yeah my guilt comes washing over me

And with every breath I take you know those demons that I chase

Go ever free

And so I, buckle down and keep that engine whining

Running headlong to escape my destiny

There’s no going back my candles burning at both ends

On that old road down

Its midnight and I’m just outside of Santa Fe

Flat tire and my conscience finally got me off the road

I drop down to my knees and I start to pray

Don’t know if you’re up there but I’ve got a heavy load

At long last yeah, the devil has caught up with me

Whispers in my ear, with every mile you’re bound for hell

I’m asking you now Lord for deliverance

Take me from perdition, yeah with you to dwell

But the only sounds I hear are from the coyotes on the hillside

Yeah, their voices make a mournful harmony

Now I know that He is listening guess he don’t want to take a chance

On the likes of me

If I could somehow beckon to the grace of God

Prove that I am truly repentant

I tell myself there must be something I could try

I do not run in vain

My life is not worthless
